Some farmer objecting to being

of newspaper men assert that the
farmer is the most independent man
on earth, and that he has nothing to
do but enjoy life. That when win.

wing. he toasts his feet in the oven
and reads the local paper, and that the
only thing that dlsturbs him is call
three times day to banquet on mince
pies and other luxuries. It Is a large
mistake. The Industrious farmer
begins work in the morning long be-
fore the sun thinks of getting up.
With his soul slIrouded In gloom he
proceeds to build a fire and soften
his boots with the hammer. He then
takes a lantern and shovels his way to
the barn and feeds the hogs. 1t is
then time to feed the newly arrived
calf, which seems to delight In bunt-
Ing a pail of milk all over the tiller of

The Appleton Press Republican, in
freak of candor deals with the sen.
atorial question as follows:
Hon. e. NJ. Wilson, of Minneapolis,
is said to he thechoice of the democrats
FOR U. 8. senator. Mr.. Wilson is an
able man. and could undoubtedly fill
the position with honor to himself
and TO the state, but we presume that
our republican legislature would pre-
fer to elect another Sabin rather than
an eminent democrat.
And the Press is level headed in
this regard. But there is probable
ity of contingent vote in the next
legislature that will dom the ''con6.
dents" to Disappointment by the cleo.
ton Of a good democrat.

How You Pocket the Profits.

When you buy ready made cloth
ing you have to pay a profit to the
wholesaler and a profit to the re-
taller. These two profits the retail
buyer pays, and these make the price
come high. Now contrast the diff
terent system at the MIsFIT PAR
LoRs. Instead of paying either a
wholesale or retail profit, you really
pocket what the tailors lose. We
don't pay full value for any of our
goods. We frequently pick them up
at less than one.half their original
value. The tailors have to part with
them for what they can get, and thus
we are able to offer you the best
tailor-m made clething far lower than
you can buy ready made.
